URI scheme is not "file"
- by Ankur
I get the exception: "URI scheme is not file"
The url I am playing with is ... and it very much is a file
http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/miscellaneous/domefisheye/ladybug/fish4.jpg
What I am doing is trying to get the name of a file and then save that file (from another server) onto my computer/server from within a servlet.
I have a String called "url", from thereon here is my code:
url = Streams.asString(stream); //gets the URL from a form on a webpage
System.out.println("This is the URL: "+url);
URI fileUri = new URI(url);
File fileFromUri = new File(fileUri);
onlyFile = fileFromUri.getName();
URL fileUrl = new URL(url);
InputStream imageStream = fileUrl.openStream();
String fileLoc2 = getServletContext().getRealPath("pics/"+onlyFile);
File newFolder = new File(getServletContext().getRealPath("pics"));
if(!newFolder.exists()){
newFolder.mkdir();
}
IOUtils.copy(imageStream, new FileOutputStream("pics/"+onlyFile));
}
The line causing the error is this one:
File fileFromUri = new File(fileUri);
I have added the rest of the code so you can see what I am trying to do.
